"The act of existence is the unifying theme in Aquinas' metaphysics. If you're trying to understand his metaphysics — understand the act of existence. Understand what he means by the act of existence and once you understand that, you're golden. It's like understanding Plato's theory of the forms — once you understand that you understand Plato. You can open up any platonic dialogue and situate yourself." Prof. Gaven Kerr
